How Much Does a New Roof Cost in Greenwood, SC? (2026 Pricing Guide)
Most Greenwood-area homeowners pay between $9,500 and $18,000 for a full roof replacement in 2026. Here's exactly what drives the price.
Average roof replacement cost in Greenwood County
In 2026, a typical asphalt shingle roof replacement in Greenwood, SC runs between $9,500 and $18,000 for an average single-family home (roughly 1,800 to 2,400 sq ft of roof surface). That price includes complete tear-off of the old roof, new underlayment, CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles, drip edge, ridge vent, flashing, and full debris haul-off.
Smaller ranch homes in Ninety Six or Saluda often come in closer to $8,500. Larger two-story homes near Lake Greenwood or new builds in Simpsonville can run $20,000–$28,000 depending on pitch, complexity, and material upgrades.
What drives roof replacement pricing
Five factors push your roof cost up or down. Knowing them helps you read a quote and spot anyone who's padding the bid.
- Square footage — measured in 'squares' (100 sq ft each). A 22-square roof costs less than a 30-square roof.
- Pitch and complexity — steep, walkable, or cut-up roofs with valleys and dormers take more labor.
- Shingle grade — 3-tab is cheapest but rarely installed anymore. CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles are our standard.
- Tear-off layers — removing two layers of old shingles costs more than one.
- Decking repair — rotten plywood found after tear-off is replaced at cost. Expect 0–6 sheets on most jobs.
Insurance-paid roof replacements
If a hailstorm or high-wind event damaged your roof, your homeowners insurance usually pays for replacement minus your deductible. Most Greenwood-area policies carry a 1% or 2% wind/hail deductible — on a $300,000 home that's $3,000–$6,000 out of pocket.
We handle the full claim with your adjuster, document damage with photos, and supply the supplement paperwork most carriers require. The vast majority of our storm-damage customers pay only their deductible.
Asphalt shingles vs. metal roofing
Architectural asphalt shingles (Landmark) cost about $4.50–$6.50 per square foot installed in our area. Standing-seam metal roofing runs $11–$15 per square foot. Metal lasts 40–60 years vs 25–30 for shingles, but the upfront cost is roughly 2.5× higher. Most Greenwood homeowners pick architectural shingles for the value; metal is popular on barns, outbuildings, and modern farmhouse builds.
